Joey Barton has been banned from all football-related activity for 18 months, after the Burnley midfielder was charged with placing 1,260 bets on football.

Barton admits that he has "placed over 15,000 bets across a whole range of sports" since opening a Betfair account in 2004. However, of all those wagers, The FA were particularly interested in a very specific 30 - the 30 bets that involved matches involving teams Barton was playing for at the time.

Remarkably, Barton has decided to share the details of those bets with the public, in the interests of full transparency.

To 'lay' means the gambler does NOT want to something to happen.

In other words, he bet that City striker Samaras - the guy who lined up alongside him in that game - would not score in the match.

Hmm…

For most Newcastle players, losing 3-1 to Stevenage in one of the biggest FA Cup upsets of recent times was bad enough.

For Barton - who started the match - losing nearly £500 made his night even worse.

Another Newcastle game in which Barton was not involved. Another creditable 1-1 draw for the Geordies. Another situation where Barton must have been unsure how to feel…
